1. [R2] 5/5 · US The Washington Post: I really trust the news in the Post. I don’t think they lie about it!
2. [R5] 5/5 · US The Post is Truth: Reading the work of professional journalists at The Washington Post reveals a dedication to the truth, reveals moral courage, reveals the true legacy of our nation’s founding fathers. It’s the perfect antidote to so much republican dishonesty & so little moral courage from right-wing politicians pundits judges.
3. [R6] 5/5 · US Great Journalism: While I’m not a fan of Bezos, the journalists at the WaPo are independent and do the hard work of reporting facts. Well worth the money considering how easy it is to come across garbage being published online these days. By far my favorite paper!
4. [R12] 5/5 · US Great App: The Washington Post to me is a reliable source of news. I feel that it is one of the premier newspapers in the country. I have found its reporting to be accurate and unbiased. I like it’s science and medical reporting as well as its recipes.
5. [R4] 5/5 · US WAPO speedy app loads: The app loads quickly. It does not lave a large foot print of space on the HD. Two great features.
6. [R31] 4/5 · US Yup: Yup. Good reporting. Yup. Up to date and accurate. Yup. Meaningful side stories. Yup. A good dose of culture. (Need I mention a great line-up of comic strips…?)
7. [R65] 5/5 · US Love WASHINGTON POST - hooked on GAMES ‼️: THE BEST, MOST VARIETY OF GAMES. Excellent news as well!
8. [R74] 5/5 · US Love sports section: Sports section very important and continues to be very informative.Thank you
9. [R10] 5/5 · US Easy to navigate: Still getting used to it …but so far I like it…
10. [R106] 5/5 · US WP online: The online WP provides accurate news coverage updated to my IPad before 5am daily. It is a great paperless option covering all aspects of the daily news.
11. [R1] 3/5 · US WaPo is center right now and an apologist for plutocrats and economic inequality: WaPo is center right now and an apologist for plutocrats and economic inequality. They got rid of most of their liberal writers and dropped their sports coverage. They still do some decent investigative stories.
12. [R8] 1/5 · US Darkness: The Washington post is bending at the knee to trump. It is awful
13. [R11] 1/5 · US Sharp decline: The journalist quality of this newspaper declined steadily at first after its acquisition by Bezos then sharply in the last two years after Bezos forced management changes. Now, I still subscribe because I live in the DC area, and some good reporting is done. But the paper often is a mindless cheerleader from Trump and his oligarch pals. The newspaper should be given to a responsibl
14. [R15] 1/5 · US One reason above all others to leave!: The WP Editorial Eoard is a tool to advance your owner’s style of “ elitist capitalism.” I love, capitalism, but I can’t stand greed! This paper has changed drastically since your owner has taken over. There are a lot of publications through which I can get accurate, unbiased news. I’ll be gone very soon.
15. [R42] 1/5 · US Obnoxious ad. Goodbye: too soon, too loud
16. [R43] 1/5 · US New screaming commercials: Recently, some ads are so loud. It sounds like they’re screaming. It’s startling. I’ve just now canceled my subscription.
17. [R45] 1/5 · US Loud and obnoxious audio ads: If you’d like to listen to your news, The Washington Post is not the place to get it unless you’re willing to endure incredibly loud and obnoxious audio ads.
18. [R57] 2/5 · US Repeated commercials: They repeat the same commercials after every so many stories on my playlist.
19. [R7] 1/5 · US Good when it works: I subscribe to both the NYT and The Washington Post. When the NYT sends me an article by email, I can click on it and enter the article, including the audio. But with the Washington Post, you click on it and then they want you to prove that you’re really a subscriber. What’s your password? What’s your pets first name? It’s too much work. The Post needs to make it easier to be a
20. [R70] 1/5 · US Paid Subscription but No Access: I have had problems where I pay for a subscription but when I try to open an article after logging in, it just wants to sell me another subscription.
21. [R3] 1/5 · US New version downloads, but doesn't work on older iPad OSs!!: Doesn't work on an iPad 9 with iPad OS 17.7.2. Tap the icon and it opens to a blank screen. Thought the Apple Store blocked downloading incompatible apps! Please fix this, Post! Upgrading the OS is not an option as it slows down the tablet, uses more battery life, and breaks older apps. If you can't fix it, at least let us download
22. [R13] 2/5 · US Little new news: Just so little new news every day. 90%+ seems to just be recycled from the day before or even many days before. I returned after almost a year with another paper and I am now remembering why I left. Disappointed.
23. [R53] 5/5 · US The new Washington Post: The good news is that the new op-ed and opinion pages are much better, reflecting more balance and support for freedom and free markets. Unfortunately the sports page and metro section is a shell of its former self, while the Style section is a parody of these sort of things.
24. [R62] 1/5 · US Destruction of a once premier news outlet: Since Bezo’s has taken over the Post has gone down the toilet. So many excellent reporters let go, Sports reporting almost nonexistent. What a shame.
25. [R67] 1/5 · US The Post is a faint shadow of its former self: I got stuck with most of a full year’s subscription after the Post fired many reporters. The news coverage is spotty and often ridiculous in judgment. The Sports section, which I once loved, has become a joke. The editorial writers are mostly pathetic (Max Boot is an exception). This was a proud tradition, now gone to waste.
26. [R288] 3/5 · GB Laggy: User interface is not as hassle free and easy to navigate as the New York Times or Apple’s news app. There are lags.
27. [R443] 3/5 · GB Kind of buggy: 1st few articles load quickly. But after that, random paragraphs won't load, or article will fail to render at all. The ads always show up though.
28. [R38] 2/5 · US ‘ For you ‘: The ‘for you’ column that’s fixed to the front is all mandatory politics about the White House and nothing related to the topics I picked. And the layout is so stiff not user friendly. Fox CNN free version does it better.
29. [R30] 2/5 · US An *APP* review: If I could teach the world to sing… When writing a review on the AppStore you are answering one question: Does the *app* work? THIS app is okay, although I am completely unable to interact with comments. I’m signed in, but I can’t even give a thumbs up to someone else’s post. Frustrating. On a personal note, there’s no such thing as unbiased news in 2026. Read widely and you’
30. [R9] 5/5 · US I would like to select an AI voice reader not have WaPo randomly assign one.: I’m thankful for WaPo allowing me to listen to articles. However, we all have differing hearing levels. Certain voices can distract from the message. That’s the case in your approach to assigning AI generated voices to read articles. For me a higher pitched voice that sounds like a teenager reading a serious article di
31. [R445] 3/5 · GB About to introduce subscription . . .: Unfortunately subscription charging is coming, so I'll be getting off at this stop. Shame, my previous review is below (I've reduced the star rating now from 4 to 3) ----- With the UK so closely aligned to the US, this publication provides wide ranging reports on both US domestic & foreign policy news as well as the American perspective on global events.
